Hey Gents
Reading the thread on Oak Alternatives gave me a thought
Has anyone tried to make a Bundy Red?

I'm not up to that yet
Just throwing it out there cause I do like the taste of Bundaberg Red

Look forward to everyones comments

Pretty sure that there's a thread on this in here somewhere. Did you do a search?

Hey BD

People have been talking about Bundy red
But no one has said they have done a version of it yet.

So how about it fellas?
Anyone made a redgum rum or about too?

I don't think anyone has gone through with it, but I've done the charcoal filter with other woods and spirits (as have many others), and can tell you that it makes quite a difference. Give it a go, and make sure you tell us how it works!

Tell you what I'll do, TAF. Next batch of rum I do I'll age some on a bit of redgum charcoal from our fire and see what happens, although I'll be verry wary about drinking it in any great volume.

Thanks BD
Sounds like a deal
Look forward to the results.

I reckon the SS Navy Rum tastes fairly similar to Bundy Red...

I'm collecting red gum charcoal as winter ends, titus. Next rum will be a redgum experiment. Could be good honest fun.

Hey DB
Am looking forward to seeing the results


Have never made charcoal...
Question
How do you think they got the red colour in the redgum rum?
